Traditions say that Lord Vishnu offered the idol of Sree Poornathrayeesa
to Arjuna (the third of the five Pandava brothers), when he sought the
help of the Lord to give rebirth to the ten children of a Brahmin. The
ten children and the sacred idol were taken by Arjuna in his chariot and
he handed over the children to the Brahmin. In memory of this event, a
temple was built with a sanctum-sanctorum in the form of a chariot. Lord
Ganesh was sent by Arjuna to search a holy place for the installation
of Lord Vishnu. Earlier, the idol was kept in a palace which is situated
at the west of the main temple and now it is known as Poonithura
Kottaram.
